The Appeal
The 3.2 Carrera represents the final evolution of the original air-cooled 911 Targa before the arrival of the 964. With its distinctive removable roof panel, characterful 3.2-litre flat-six, and the mechanical purity that defines the classic 911 experience, the Carrera Targa remains one of the most sought-after variants of the marque's most iconic model. This example, finished in black with grey 'Porsche' side decals, a 'whale tail' rear spoiler, and black 16-inch Fuchs wheels, presents a striking, motorsport-inspired appearance.
This particular car has been in the same ownership for over 32 years, having been purchased in 1993 and driven from Manchester to Northern Ireland. The vendor, a Porsche Club Northern Ireland member, reports that the car has never been modified and has never undergone bodywork repairs of any kind. During this lengthy custodianship, it has covered fewer than 4,000 miles.
The black paintwork is said to present well overall, though some areas of surface rust and bubbling are noted. The vendor reports that the underside shows little sign of corrosion and that the interior remains in good order with unworn carpets.
Having been on SORN since 2013, the car will require recommissioning before returning to regular use. This is a compelling opportunity for someone seeking a long-term-ownership, largely original 3.2 Carrera Targa to bring back to the road.
